Reviewed July 2024Clove, vanilla, restrained cherry, milk chocolate and balsamic aromas. The attack is soft and velvety, with dense tannins, a savory character, a full body and crisp, refreshing acidity. Great mid-palate extraction and details. Embracing finish, long and consistent. Drinkable now, but best from 2031.

Wine Advocate
Made with equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the Tolaini 2021 Valdisanti is a lush expression with a big, upfront delivery of bold black fruit. On the palate, that intensity tapers off somewhat to reveal a silky and elegant mid to full-bodied approach. It shows great length and a softer texture than you might expect given the first impact of the bouquet. You get lingering notes of pencil shaving and toasted oak, but the wine is ready to drink now. Production is 54,000 bottles. (ML)

Vinous
The 2021 Valdisanti is a bright, punchy wine. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc speak with a decidedly Tuscan accent in this vibrant, mid-weight offering. The 2021 is a distinctive wine with much to offer. Crushed rocks, graphite, lavender and plum all build into the resonant finish. (AG)
Notes
Tolaini’s 2021 “Valdisanti” Toscana is a bold and refined Super Tuscan blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, showcasing structure, richness, and Tuscan identity. The nose is intense and layered, with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and wild cherry, accented by notes of graphite, cedar, and sweet spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and well-balanced, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity framing dark fruit, savory herbs, and mineral depth. The finish is long and polished, with lingering notes of tobacco and balsamic. A powerful yet elegant red with aging potential.
